The laparoscopic approach for the treatment of uterine leiomyoma is increasingly practiced. The necessity to remove large specimens from the small laparoscopic incision has always been one of the main limits of this procedure. The unrestricted use of morcellation, to overtake this weak point of minimally invasive surgery, has opened in recent years a broad debate, especially on the risk of unintended dissemination of cells that could in some cases lead to extremely negative repercussions.

Materials & Methods: This was a retrospective study aimed to evaluate efficacy of vitamin E oral spray (vitamin E acetate in a medium chain tryglicerides vehicle - patented formulation) starting from the first trimester of pregnancy, with a control group.
Results: A total of 100 women were included in the study and were compared with a matched control group.
Background: Although robotics has been shown to improve outcomes in some high-difficulty surgical category patients, it is unclear if such an approach may improve outcomes in elderly patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC).
Objective: To compare robotic and laparotomic surgery in the treatment and staging of elderly EC patients.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed assessing the risk of overall, intra-operative, and peri-operative complications associated with the surgical approach (laparotomic vs robotic) for elderly patients with EC by relative risk (RR).
Objectives: To compare the effects of nebulized fluticasone propionate (FP) and nebulized budesonide (BUD) in addition to inhaled salbutamol in children with mild asthma exacerbation.
Methods: The study was a multicenter, randomized, single-blind, parallel group design. One hundred and sixty-eight children, aged 4-15 years, were randomly allocated to receive either nebulized FP (250 mcg) or nebulized BUD (500 mcg) twice daily for 10 days.
